Kraft Foods Recall: Precautions Taken

In a move that has given Kraft Foods fans pause, the company is recalling 1.2 million cases of cottage cheese. The impacted brands include Knudsen, Breakstone, Simply Kraft and Daily Chef.

The Kraft recall measures were announced on Saturday.

Company officials state that the reason these cheese products are being called back is that the ingredients originating from a facility in Tulare, Calif. had not been stored properly.

Cheese from the location had been shipped out to customers across the United States. It’s believed that the issue only affects American consumers as these items were not shipped outside the United States.

Recalled products are said to contain a plant code of 06-245 and no “W” in the case code date.

It was announced that in addition to the recall, the California facility’s production of related ingredients had been halted. Distribution of the cheese items has also been stopped for the time being. The company is currently working to fix the problem.

According to Kraft Foods spokesman Russ Dyer, Kraft is investigating a complaint related to a batch of expired cheese that was not recalled.
